ARM Cement denies pollution claims

ARM Cement has denied claims of causing environmental pollution in the Kenyan coastal town of Kilifi, saying that its operations meet international practices and standards.

CEO Pradeep Paunrana assured the residents living within the cement maker’s proximity that they are not exposed to pollution caused by cement manufacturing from its process.  “Operations are pollution-free within and without the factory and we challenge anybody of contrary opinion to prove us wrong on this,” he said, adding that ARM has a full-fledged environmental office to maintain required standards.

 “ARM is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for its employees, business partners and neighbours within our premises,” he said.
